[Discussion] I just realized - Oda Sensei's possible inspiration behind Usopp

[Sherlock.]

I just realized Usopp's character is inspired by Aesop of Aesop Fables.... Aesop was a Greek Fabulist....

He was known for his great story telling.... He has more than 600 Fables credited to his name....

He was of African descent.... I guess Oda Sensei mentioned once that Usopp would be African in the real world....

Usopp's back story of lying and creating a false alarm of "Pirates are coming, Pirates are coming." is just like the Fable of "The boy who cried wolf." which is credited to Aesop as well.... =D =D

Just thought I'd share the info in case someone hasn't realized like I didn't till a few mins earlier.... =D =D

he probably changed it to usopp because Uso is a lie in Japanese.

Thanks for the info ^_^
I like how Oda bases allot of his characters off of real life people. And also includes part of their history and makes it unique to the character in their own way.

Aesop got throw off a cliff for being blamed for temple theft. ._.
